Over Making Li-ving.

BERLIN, Dec. 27. (Special cable.)
Berlin is fast becoming the gloom
center of the globe. Vienna ?s dying
Kracefully, but Berlin is just going
to its end stolidly, worldly, unplc
turesquely and uninterestingly, steeped
in gloom. Many visiting Americans
have fallen victims to the all-pervading
atmosphere of depression after
the first few days' novelty and inter
est have worn off.
Many American business men who
arrived full of pep and breezy op
timism, expecting to make a quick
cleanup and get away, have found it
impossible to do any business at all
with Germany at the present low rate
of German exchange and with the
general unfavorable conditions. Others
have been held here weeks longer
than they ever expected to stay and
keep hanging on here, hoping against
hope that conditions for doing busi
ness may improve. Americans who
have come to Berlin to scout and in
vestigate German conditions almost
invariably have gained a pessimistic
viewpoint.
Berlin Food "Worse Again.
Nature has abetted the general
gloom by providing nearly two
weeks of continuous dark gray
weather. Berlin's food, too, has waxed
worse again and The Oregonian cor
respondent has met quite a few Amer
icans recently who have complained
of stomach and intestinal troubles.
"Berlin is as cheerful as a funeral,"
said one American visitor recently,
and transient Americans Invariably
display enthusiastic joy at the pros
pect of a speedy departure.
While Americans who have nothing
to worry about except to get a pass
age back home are affected by the
heaviness of Berlin's atmosphere, the
gloom of most native Berliners is so
thick you could cut it. Berlin is a
joyless burg. Even the alleged places
of amusement are short of the joy of
life. The Fallals de Danse and what
remains of Berlin's once famous night
life are sad and sorry shows.
Poverty Pronpect Loom.
Berliners with any money to spend
still left In their jeans are acutely
depressed by the passage of innum
erable new tax bills, including heavy
capital confiscation, which threaten
to reduce millionaires to the honest
protelariat. The prospect of practi
cal poverty clouds all moneyed minds.
Still soaring, the high cost of living
also causes depression, and even well-to-do
Germans are worrying over the
hopeless problem ot making both ends
meet. Most Berliners realize at last
that hard times have come to stay and
their view is that the near future
will be black.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 27.

WORLD
GLOOM
couver to have the ceremony per
formed has never been satisfactorily
answered, but no doubt in many cases
Prominent persons, divorcees, and
others, desire to escape publicity in
tliclr home cities. (
An Oregon law sends quite a num
ber, birt this is a minor reason. Many
persons of prominence In their home
communities come to Vancouver every
year to be married for various rea
sons. Perhaps the best known person in
the northwest to be married here dur
ing the past week was Mrs. Constance
Meyer, for several years fancy diving
champion of the United States. Mrs.
Meyer and Lou C. Dressier, 30 years
old, were married here December 23.
The ceremony was performed by
Cedric "Hap" Miller, justice of the
peace of Vancouver, and quite as well
known here as an athlete as Mrs.
Meyer. He was the famous half-back
and captain of the University of
Washington football team when
Dobie was at his best as a coach. The
witnesses to the marriage were Dr.

In getting the license, Mrs. Meyer
gave her age as legal.
HIGHWAYMEN FIND MATCH
PORTti.VXDEB LOSES SO BUT
RETAINS GOLD WATCH.
Robbers With Auto Who Tack;
Albert Beandoin Encounter
Unexpected Resistance.
Although they displayed more than
the usual persistency themselves, rob
bers who waylaid Albert Beaudoin

o'clock when Beaudoin, who lives at

was walking on Thirty-third street
in the vicinity of Siskiyou. He passed
a machine at the curb and shortly
afterward was confronted by a highwayman-
from up on the terrace above
the sidewalk, who commanded him to
throw up his hands. When Beau
doin refused, the man attempted to
jump down on him. but Beaudoin
made a quick sidestep, evaded the as
sailant and started up the street full
speed.
The robber went in pursuit, aided
by another who had been waiting in
the automobile. At the end of half a
block the two highwaymen, one afoot
and the other In the car. overtook the
man. closed in on him and threw him
on the sidewalk, where they proceed
ed to go through his pockets.
A quick search disclosed $! in cash,
which the men appropriated. When
they, got down as far as the vest
pockets, where his watch lay. Beau
doin made a second break for liberty,
wrenched himself free and scurried
up the bank into some bushes, where
he dropped flat on the ground and
waited while the men beat the brush
In an effort to find him. After a few
minutes' search the two men returned
to their car and drove away, while
Beaudoin went to the nearest house
and sent in a call to the police. Up to
a late hour no arrests had been made.

POISOX'S EFFECT DESCRIBED
Death and Blindness Main Result
. of AVood Alcohol as Drink.
NEW TORK. Dec 27. (Special.)
Dr. S. Dane Hubbard, acting director
of the health department's bureau of
industrial hygiene, today described
the nature and effect of wood alcohol
as follows: Wood alcohol Is a color
less liquid and in a highly refined
state has but a slight odor and no
taste. The Jess purified form pos
sesses a nauseating odor. While it is
tasteless, it does, however, produce
a burning sensation.
Its legitimate uses are as a fuel,
as a solvent in varnishes, and as a
denaturant. that Is, as an agent Jn
making grain alcohol unfit for drink
ing purposes. It is also Improperly
used in the preparation of hair dyes
and tonics, toilet waters and flavor
Ing extracts, as well as medical prod
ucts by some unscrupulous druggists
The symptoms produced on taking
wood alcohol are the following:
Nausea, vomiting, violent headache,
vertigo, coma and amblopla (blind
ness), of varying degrees.
The chemical formula for wood al
cohol Is CH30H. It is chemically
known as methyl alcohol, sometimes
as wood alcohol. Technically it
known as Columbian snarits, standard
wood spirits, coloniaT spirits, union
spirits, eagle spirits, Hastings spirits
and acetone alcohol.
The mode of elmination Is by the
lungs, kidneys and skin. The small
est dose known to have had disastrous
results Is one consisting of two ten-
spoonfuls, the result being total blind
ness. Another instance Is that of five
men, each of whom consumed a tum
bler full. Of these two died within 24
hours, one lost the vision of one eye
and was partially blinded in the other
and two recovered, due possibly to
the elimination of the po.son by vom.
iting.
Of 720 cases recorded at Baskerville,
490 died and 90 became totally blind.
In 85 cases vision was impaired, 6 to
10 becoming blind temporarily, and 31
recovered. No results were statistic
ally given in 100 cases. The mortallty
in terms of percentage is thus about
33 per cent, total blindness 12 per
cent, impairment of vision 13 per cent
and recovery 4 per cent.
INCOMING SHIPS WATCHED
Regulations to Prevent Intoxicants
From Entering U. S. Are Rigid.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. Stringent
regulations were issued today by the
treasury to prevent Intoxicants from
entering the country from ships arriv
ing from foreign ports.
Liquors properly listed as sea stores
must be placed under seal by the
boarding officer of the customs ser
vice and kept sealed during the entire
time of the vessel's stay in port. No
part of such stores may be removed
from under seal lor any purpose
while the ship is in United States
waters, the regulations state, which
denies to foreign crews the ration cf
wine served with meals on some ships
under other flags.
J5jLCMiiva Uauor storoa, n longer
being dutiable, are subject to seizure.
Liquors properly carried may be
returned to a foreign port in the ves
sel changing from the foreign to the
coasting trade, or may be transferred
under supervision of the customs of
ficials from a vessel in foreign trade,
delayed in port for any cause, to an
other vessel of the same line or
owner.
Customs officials are not greatly
concerned over the possibility of
smuggling large stores of liquors Into
the country and the new orders are
believed to close the last hole through
which Intoxicants might reach domes
tic consumers. With all liquid re
freshment under seal, it was said,
there would be small opportunity for
"bootlegging" to becarried on around
the wharves.

PUBLIC PIPE SMOKER
Mrs. Mabel Walenn Delights
in Coloring Calabashes.
CIGARS ARE ALSO ENJOYED
Fair Parisian Diner Emulates Ex
ample; Women Attempting- to
Keep Pace With Men.
(Copyright by the New Tork "World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON. Dec. 27. (Special Cable.)
Mrs. Mabel Walenn of Wlllesden
Green, London, may not be the only
woman pipe smoker in England, but
up to the present time she has the
distinction of being the first publicly
to boast of it and give her reasons
for doing so. Tobacconists say that
pipe smoking among women is on the
increase, even more so than the cigar
habit. Mrs. WaleDn takes exceptional
pleasure in her briars and her cala
bashes. "I average about four pipes
a day and a cigar in the eVenlng with
my husband over a game of chess,"
she told The Oregonian correspond
ent. ' "I have smoked pipes and cigars for
many years. I don't care about cig
arettes. I have colored several cala
bashes and possess two pipes by a
well-known maker. My last, a
straight cut. is a beauty. All my
friends know I smoke, and as I have
eight brothers-in-law, I don t come
off badly for cigars. If It came to a
choice between no pudding or 'no
pipe,' It would certainly be "no pud
ding.'
"My husband gives me at Christmas
not presents of chocolates and other
dainties, but a box of cigars and s
nice briar. It Is Impossible. I think
to beat the cool, sweet fragrance of
a pipe, and my present favorite is a
fine curved briar. I smoke the ordi
nary medium mixtures, and with a
pipe In my mouth find I can do my
household work much better."
Mrs. Walenn, who is a woman of
splendid physique. says smoking
never affects her health. She smoked
her first cigar wherr 14 a half-Inch
cigar of her father's.
"It had no ill effect upon me and I
have been smoking ever since. I do
not limit myself and I smoke most of
the day."
The first time Mrs. Walenn lit a
cigar In a London restaurant she says
she was asked to leave. She was con
tentedly puffing a calabash when the
photographers and reporters called
on her.
Some French women are making a
big attempt to show fthe men that
they refuse" any longer to be consid
ered of the weak sex. They tried this
in the war, when th'ey proved they
could do a man's work. In peace time
they are trying to prove they can
also equal & man in his pleasure.
They have taken up all sorts of
athletics. Many French women smoke
as many cigarettes a daj" as any man.
One recently showed she was able to
smoke a cigar without' any ill effect.
Now one has come forward to prove
she can smoke a pipe and smoke it
well. She made no attempt to con
ceal the fact, for she chose a fash
ionable Parisian restaurant to give
the display.
Men looked at her surprised, but
they did not dare smile.

You can create a reserve or sinking fund for your business.
You can safeguard your estate to your heirs; you can save
your estate some of the delays and expenses incident to probate.
The "Security Savings and Trust Plan" puts at your disposal
the facilities which the Company has organized for investing its
own funds and the funds which it holds in trust. The Company
would be virtually your trustee, or trusted agent. You would
eliminate hazard from your investments in the same ratio that
the Company eliminates it in its own. Thus you would maintain
a high average of security.
We want to tell you more about the "Security Savings and
Trust Plan." Ask for our new booklet, read it carefully, then
favor us with an interview.

RHEUMATISM
A Home Cure (hrn by One Who
Had It
In the spring of 1 803 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheu
matism. I suffered aa only .those who
have It know, for over three years. I
tried remedy after remedyv and doctor
after doctor, but such relief as I re
ceived was only temporary. Finally I
found a remedy that cured me com
pletely, and It has never returned. 2
have given It to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bedridden
with Rheumatism, and It effected a
cure In every case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this mar
velous healing power. Don't send a
cent, simply mall your name and ad
dress and I mill send It free to try.
Vfier you have used It and It has proven
itself to be that long-looked-for means
of curing your rheumatism, you may
send the price of It. one dollar, but, un
derstand. I do not want your money
unless you arc perfectly satisfied to
send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer
any longer when positive relief is thud
offered you free? Don't delay. Write
today.
